ImageFont documentation does not match with current code

[marado]

What did you do?

Read the docs on
https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/ImageFont.html#PIL.ImageFont.ImageFont
and then the code by following the link provided there, to
https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_modules/PIL/ImageFont.html#load

What did you expect to happen?

Since the documentation claims that only an IOError is raised, I expected to see the code raising an IOError.

What actually happened?

The code shows an OSError being raised, as a result of this commit: 538d9e2#diff-0b53b789652f38dc633674dd3671e636L82

Thanks for the report! I've made #4536 to fix the docs, plus some related updates.

You can now see the updated documentation at https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/PIL/ImageFont.html#load. It will become 'stable' with the next release of Pillow on July 1st.
